5 players to pick

Pep Guardiola has chopped and changed his City lineup recently but one constant in the league has been Bernardo Silva.

The Portuguese midfielder was outstanding at Cardiff last weekend, registering both a goal and an assist and also picking up some bonus points.

Rested completely in the Carabao Cup, he's expected to return against Brighton in a game that City should dominate, and where he can again score big.

Harry Kane (Tottenham)

If you haven't gone with Harry Kane yet, then now may be the time.

Spurs travel to bottom of the table Huddersfield, with the Terriers having conceded 14 times already this term and looking extremely vulnerable.

It's the sort of game where Kane could well be a multi-scorer and if you're heading into this weekend without either he or Sergio Aguero, then you need to question your strategy.

Richarlison (Everton)

Marco Silva's men were much improved last weekend, even though they were defeated by Arsenal.

They created chances throughout their 2-0 loss at the Emirates and it was no surprise that they carried a considerably greater attacking threat with Richarlison back in the side after suspension.

Against a Fulham side that hasn't been watertight in defence the Brazilian will again start in attack. Having picked up 23 points in the opening two gameweeks, this is the perfect opportunity for more.

Now Sean Dyche’s men head to a Cardiff side that have struggled for goals and whose focus on set pieces should play into the Clarets' hands.

As you go in search of a defender who could keep a clean sheet as well as offering a threat in the opposite penalty area, then James Tarkowski could be your man.

Matt Doherty (Wolves)

First off, Wolves host a Southampton side that has scored just six goals in its first six matches; they struggle to create chances for anyone not named Danny Ings, so if he has a quiet day, then their goal threat is severely reduced.

Thus, a Wolves defender could be a smart play. In that respect, Matt Doherty, given his low price, is ideal.

But also add that he plays as a wing-back in Wanderers' 3-4-3 formation and has no reservations about pushing high up the park and he could well provide a goal or an assist at the other end.

5 players to avoid

Glenn Murray (Brighton)

The veteran striker has earned rave reviews for his early season form with the Seagulls, carrying on where he left off last season.

But valued at £6.5million, you want no part of a player who has scored just once in three away games thus far - and that a penalty - when they head to Manchester City.

City will push high and dominate the ball, meaning chances will be at a premium for Murray, while he also doesn't boast the kind of speed needed to test City in behind.

Paul Pogba (Manchester United)

Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho seem completely incompatible and it looks only a matter of time before one of them departs Manchester United.

But when the Red Devils go to West Ham on Saturday, the Frenchman will start at the heart of midfield.

West Ham frustrated Chelsea last weekend in a goalless draw, while Pogba landed an assist in the draw with Wolves. This weekend however, you simply must steer clear.

Roberto Pereyra (Watford)

The former Juventus midfielder made a brilliant start to the season with the Hornets.

But he has really cooled off since August ended, with Pereyra having failed to register a goal or an assist throughout September.
